Re: Friday's lowest price... Checking the history in my charting software I see four small transactions @136 and those were the lowest trades of the day. I should note that it does list the “Daily Low” as 134 but apparently that was an erroneous transaction that was later cancelled (a relatively common occurrence).

In the news, while the spotlight shines on Microsoft's deposition of a senior Sun executive regarding its alliance with Netscape in hopes that Sun's testimony can bolster MSFT's defense against the DOJ's charges, the real action is taking place in the AT&T bid for MediaOne. In order for AT&T to lock up a huge chunk of the cable market, which would be used for conversion to a high bandwidth communications network, Sun's operating system is a necessary ingredient. Sun will benefit substantially, as its operating system would become the set-top box standard in AT&T's domination of the cable market. Guess who loses substantially? Right. Microsoft and AOL. To that end, they have both signed confidentiality agreements with MediaOne, presumably to prepare a competitive bid in hopes of thwarting an "unholy" alliance of Sun/AT&T. While Sun isn't directly in the spotlight here, the outcome of this battle of the titans will have a big impact on its future. optioninvestor
